Specification of Letters Patent Patented Sept. 8, 1908.

Serial No. 318,512.

To all whom it 'Iflfld/ cmiccra:

Be it known that l, Px'rmon J. hiADDEN, a citizen of the United States,residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Plumbing- Fixtures, ofwhich the following is a specification.

The term fixtures as used\ in this specification intended to comprehendwater closets, urinals, sinks, bath tubs, wash basins, and all otherplumbing devices in the nature of receptacles with which it is neces,

sary to make a pipe-connection for either supplying or evacuating thereceptacle.

in its broad ast aspect the invention covers and includes either aninlet or an outlet pipe, and in a more limited aspect it includesfeatures peculiar to each, and in a still more limited aspect itincludes a cooperative relation of both, with respect to the bowl.

For the sake ol brevity the term bowl will be hereinafter used to denotethe receptacle of the fixture, but with the understandmg that any otherspecific name for a reccp .tacle of any particular type or character maybe read for it.

The invention is particularly well adapted to that class of fixtures inwhich the bowl has to be removed from time to time for the purpose ofremoving obstructions or for repair purposes, and with iixtures of thisclass, especially those in which the bowl must be removed and put inplace from through which the pipe connection or connections extend),facility oi removal and replacement, 1s, ol' course, lmpoctant.

As before intimated, the invention is apphcablc to all classes ofplumbing i1xtures,

but my original aim was to provide an 1mproved urinal, and sincoit is tothis class of fixtures that the invention is particularly in front (a.c., without going back of the wall or slab form. Fig. 2 is a frontelevation thereof on a' smaller scale. Fig. 3 is a horizontalsectlOIiOll thelme 33 F 1g. 1, looking downward. F 4 is a frontelevation of a frag-' ment of a bowl, showing a modification. Fig. 5 isa vertical section ofa bowl, showing another modification.

A represents the bowl (of a urinal) having at top an inlet opening A andat bottom an outlet opening n both of which, in the in stances given,are disposed vertically. The bowl shown in the drawings has a verticalback adapted to fit against a wall, a slab, or other suitable support,B, that side of the wall upon. which the bowl is located being the sideherein referred to as the front sidel. The wall has through it twoopenings B and B, through the former of which extends an inlet or supplypipe C and through the latter of which extends an outlet or dischargepipe D. The horizontal portion of the outlet pipe 1) preferably'iits theopening B snugly so that it is incapable of any vertical. movement,while, for reasons that will appear hercmal'ter clearance is providedbetween the inlet pipe C and the wall B in order to permit limitedvertical movement of the inlet pipe in the opening B", it beingunderstood that the inlet pipe is movable vertically to a limitedextent. This vertical movement may be provided for by making the pipeitseli of sullicient length to give it the necessary rlexibility, or byconnecting it with a flexible section made of lead. This, however, is adetail which may be left to the (,liscretion of the plumber. Thedrawings show the several parts of the fixtures in their final orultimate positions (excepting the shape of the gasket) and. for the timebeing the following description will be confined to these relations, ade-,

scription oi" the manner of assembling them being given later on.

The bowl has in its rear side a recess or cavity a the top of whichpreferably slopes downward and rearward so as to provide an inclinedoverhanging shoulder a and this shoulder rests upon a correspondinglyinclined surface of a lateral arm of a bracket E which is secured to thewall B through the mediumof a wall plate c. This bracket, in itscll, maybe'sullicient to support the weight ol" the bowl, and the complementary,inclined engaging surfaces of theshoulder and bracket form interlockingfeatures that prevent the horizontal movement of the bowl away from thewall B,- unless such horizontal movement be accompanied by a sullicientvertical movement to clear the shoulder a. The bowl is, however,additionally supported by the pipes C and l), and its upwardmovement isprevented by means new to be described. The outlet pipe D has itsin-take end de-- flected downward and upward so as to form what is knownin the art as a P-trap, located wholly in front of the wall, the in-takeend or mouth of which is vertical, registering with the outlet A of thebowl, and in the form sure device which preferably includes a set screwG disposed with its axis coincident with the projected axis of theoutlet opening and the in-take end of the pipe 1). In that form of theinvention which is specific to this application, the upper end of thescrew en-' gages the outlet pipe 1) (which latter is providelwrma'secket or depression for reviving'it) so that when the screw is drivenhome it will tend to force the outlet pipe upward, but its upwardmovement being prevented by its contact with the wall B at the upperside of the o ening B", the result will be the drawing of t 1e bowldownward, compressing the gasket 1* and drawing the shoulder a to a firmseat upon the bracket E. It is unnecessary to here give dimensions andmeasure ments which the parts must have in order to accomplish thisresult. Sullice it to say that the parts must be so pro iiortioncd thatwhen the bowl is presented in a'horizontal direction toward the wall itwill pass, without contactin g therewith, both the gasket 1 and thebracket E and then, when it reachescontact with the wall, it maybelowered so that it rests'upon'the gasket 1, compressing the latter to alimited extent (proportional to the weight of the bowl) in whichcondition the shoulder a will be slightly out of contact with thebracket E. Thereafter, the driving home of the screwGwill draw the bowldownward, with the double effect of compressing the gasket I andbringing the shoulder a to a firm seat on the bracket E.

In that class of fixtures in which anee is a desideratum the appea1= endof the outlet pipe 1) is concealed by a housing A on the bottom of thebowl. lhe housingis preferably integral with the bowl so that there isme joint through wl'ii'ch liquid trickling down thefront or side of thebowl can enter the housing there to become foul, or to come in contactwith the outlet pipe and corrode it. Furthermore, the outlet pipe beingcompletely concealed, it is unnecessary to give it a fine finish by.polishing, nickel plating or otherwise, and a cheaper grade of metal maybe used for making it, thus effecting a very material saving in the costof manufacture. In the form of the invention which is specific to thisapplication, the housing forms. the support for the pressure-deviceabove mentioned. If the housing is of earthenware a nut G for receivingthe pressure screw G is placed inside of it, and an opening is madethroughthe bottom of it for giving access to the screw for turning it.In any event the housing is open at back for admitting the outlet pipeas the bowl is being placed against the Wall. 7

The means for connecting the inlet pipe to the bowl are similar to thosejust described for connecting the outlet pipe, and similar features ofboth are indicated by similar reference letters but for the sake ofdistinction small letters have been used for the parts accessory to theinlet ipe.

As already explainer ,.in order to place the bowl against the wall it isnecessary to lift it high enough for the shoulder a to clear the bracketE and at the same time it is equally necessary that the gasket f (havingpreviously been put in place) shall clear the flanged mouth of the inletpipe 0 and to this end the normal position of the inlet pipe must,during this operation, be sufiiciently high. It is for this reason thatthe opening B is made in the form of a vertical slot long enough toprovide clearance for the pipe 0. The bowl having been put in place,brought to a bearing upon the bracket E, and the screw Gr having beendriven home,the screw g is driven home, thereby forcing the inlet pipe Cdownward so that its flanged mouth compresses the gasket f against thebowl. If the parts are nicely proportioned, in their final positionstheinlet pipe 0 will come to a bearing upon the wall B at the bottom of theopening B so that the bowl will have three points of support, namely, atthe o enings B and B and at the bracket E. I e'sire to have itunderstood, however, that with a snug iit between the outlet pipe D andthe walls of the opening B the bracket E may be dispensed with and,furthermore, that it will not be necessary for the inlet pipe C to havea bearing upon the wall at the bottom of the opening B. When the screw Gis driven home, the pipe D will of itself prevent either the upward orthe downward movement of the bowl and the screws G and g, the ends ofwhich are received in sockets in the pipes D and C, respectively, willrevent the bowl from moving away from t e Wall, assuming that said pipesare themselves inca able of any outward movement, On the ot Ier hand thebracket E, alone, may be relied upon for wholly supporting the bowl andholding it against outward movement, but in least, of the pipes to havecontact with the this event it will be necessary for one, at Iconnections are more or less exposed.

instance, in Fig. 4 is shown a modification in wall B at the top of theopening through which it passes. I prefer, however, to construct thebowl precisely as shown in the drawings.

It will be observed that both the inlet and the outlet pipes have bendsnear their open ends, and that when the parts of the fixture areassembled in proper relations to each other the bends proceed inopposite directions so that the mouth or terminus of the inlet pipe ispresented downward while the mouth or terminus of the outlet pipe ispresented upward. l/Vith this arrangement it "will be seen that bytightening the pressure screws G and g the ends of the two pipes will beforced toward each other, and thereby compress the gaskets and firmlyclamp the bowl between them, but without putting upon it anyconsiderable amount of strainv that will have a tendency to break it. Itis in order that the screws may reduce this pressure upon the pipes thattl ie latter are provided with the bends and these bends make itpossible to arrange a pressure producing device directly opposite theopenings in thebowl. This arrangement has the advantage of enabling thebowl to be either put in place or removed with great facility.

It will be observed that in the preferred form of the inventionhereinbefore described the part A serves the double purpose of a supportfor the pressure device and a housing for concealing the pipeconnection. In addition to the functions above described the housingall'ords means for ornamentation, but in some grades of fixturesornamentation is practically left out of consideration. In suchfixtures, the housing feature may be omitted and the support for thepressure dc- 'vi-re may be of such a nature that the pipe For which thesupport for the pressure dcvicc is in the form of a hanger or stirrup llattached to the bottom of the bowl. Assiuning the bowl to be of metalthe attachment zi'ia-y be -made by means of screws, bolts or othersuitable devices. The hanger or stirrup being made of metal the screw (imay have direct threaded engagement therewith and the nut G, which isnecessary in the event ol" a housing or support of carthcnware, isdispcnscd with.

in the form of the invention shown in Fig. 5 the support is in the l'ormol a bracket ll attached to the wall B through the medium of the wallplate 2. In this form of the invention thetwo brackets 15 and it areintogral with the wall plate (4 and the wall plate is rovidcd with anopening for the pipe I).

n the form of the invention shown in Fig. l the inlet and outlet pipes Uand l) have what may be called butt-joints with the bowl, nothing savethe packing rings l andf being interposed between them, while in theforni of the invention shown in Fig. 0 the in let and outlet pipes haveslip joints with the bowl. In other words the ends of the pipes enterthe inlet and outlet openings of the bowl. In this form of the inventionthe pressure screw G bears against a voke l which carries a ring Isurrounding the pipe and this ring, in turn, bears against a packingring or gasket, F which surrounds the )ipe and occupies an enlargementor counterlXJI'G A of the. opening A. In this as in the preferred formof the invention the accessories of the inlet and outlet pipes are ofsimilar construction, small letters being used for the accessories ofthe inlet pipe for the sake of distinction.

The specific form of the ii'iveution shown in Fig. 5, in which the endof the pipe (inlet or outlet) extends into the opening ol the bowl so astol'orm a-slip joint therewith, and in which the packing is compressedagainst the bowl and pipe by a loose follower which surrounds the plpeand is carried by a yoke, which latter is borne upon by a set screwcarried by a bracket supported iudopomlcutly of the bowl, is notspecifically claimed in this application. It forms the subject ol a.sepa rate application, of even date herewith hearing Serial No. 318,512)and needs no further description in this specification. It is includedin this application only as a species of the generic invention.

It will be observed that in all of the several forms or species of theinvention the bowl has vertical inlet and outlet openings. T he inletand outlet pipes terminate in vertion]. branches presented downward andup ward, respectively, and there are means for exerting pressuredownward and upward lor forming tight joints between the bowl and theinlet and outlet pipes, respectively.

in the several l'orms ol the invention the bracket lC is an element inthe means l'or supporting the bowl but, as bel'orc intimated, thisbracket may be entirely dispensed with. in the several forms the bowl isclzu tween thc pressure device acting vcrt' ally, upward and downward,against it. lo the l'orm shown in Fig. l the pressure devices actdirectly against the pipes C aud l) so that they enter into the meansl'or supporting tho bowl while in thc l'orm shown in Fig. 5 the pressuredcviccs have no direct action upon the pipes but act upon them onlythrough the frictional coutact therewith ol' the gaskots F and What lclaim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
